The lockdowns that have devastated the fitness industry have created a new demand for virtual fitness options.

In fact, Peloton is up 113% over last year due to the COVID-19 restrictions for gyms and fitness centers.

So what does this mean for us, as personal trainers?

The good news is, Peloton can not replace the individualized experience of a real-life personal trainer.

Services like Peloton offer zero personalized feedback, so there are no suggestions for improvements in endurance, strength, or technique.

Peloton classes don’t care whether someone is there working out or not, so the platform lacks the accountability many clients need.

There is just no replacement for the value attached to the trusted rapport, social support, and individually tailored programs personal trainers provide clients.

But how do you create success as a Virtual Personal Trainer for the start of 2021?

This webinar will show you how to create a business plan on a monthly and daily basis to succeed in building a successful online training business.
